Paleo Fish Tacos

Friends. I give you, Paleo Fish Tacos!!!! Really, it's a few recipes pulled together- but it turned out great. I'm totally biased, but these are better than any non-beer battered fish taco I've ever had. Period! In the future, I may try to dress up the soft taco shell a bit (add some pizzazz...), but they were fine just the way they were.

I used Mahi Mahi- I'm sure other white fishes would've been okay, but this is my favorite.

This is a good meal to cook and eat all in the same night. Fish does not reheat well. This is also something to cook when you have a little time... overall it took about 30 minutes to cook all of this. This may not be the thing to whip up when you get home at 9pm and you're starving... and you consider eating the entire block of cheese just because it's the first thing within reach on the fridge (this has never happened to me......... maybe).

I served this with some root vegetable chips, but plantain chips would've been epic with this. Epic, I tell you.


Mahi Mahi Fish Tacos- serves 2



For the soft tacos:
recipe: http://stupideasypaleo.com/2013/08/23/simple-paleo-tortillas/

• 2 eggs
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1 teaspoon melted ghee
• 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 cup arrowroot powder
• 1 teaspoon coconut flower
• pinch of salt

For the fish:

Mahi-mahi fish (I had a little over a pound)

Marinade:

• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 jalapeno, diced
• 1-1/2 teaspoon of Adobo seasoning (I use Penzy's)-- Jerk seasoning, or a similar one would work
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (omit if you don't like spicy food)
• 1 lime (juice), or 2 tablespoons of lime juice
• 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped 
• kosher salt and pepper, to taste

Taco fixins (here's what I used... but use whatever you like!):

• 1 tomato, diced
• 2 green onions, sliced
• little bunch of cilantro, chopped
• Napa cabbage, chopped
• Avocado
• Roasted sweet taters
• Sauce to drizzle (I used Creamy Chipotle Pepper Dip)... but any dressing will do. (these are really good: http://www.tessemaes.com/)
• Crumbled goat cheese (optional for the primal eaters)

Instructions

1. Make the marinade-- combine all ingredients in a bowl, stir, add the fish-- set aside for 15-20 minutes while you make the soft tacos
2. To make the soft tacos: 
1. Combine wet ingredients (2 eggs + 1 tsp melted ghee + 1 TBSP water), wisk
2. Add in dry ingredients (1/8 tsp baking soda, 1/4 cup arrowroot powder, 1 tsp coconut flour, pinch salt), wisk until smooth
3. Get an 8" frying pan nice and hot-- spray with olive oil (or your oil of choice)
4. Pour 1/4-1/3 mixture in pan (it cooks fast-- so you have to swirl it around fast)
5. Cook on both sides of the taco (just like making crepes)
6. Spray the pan between each use, lightly
3. For the fishies
1. Melt 2 TBSP coconut oil in large frying pan
2. Put the fish/ marinade in there
3. Cook the fish
4. Prep the taco fixings
5. Assemble those tacos!! (or let the diner's do it themselves...)
1. Put the fish on the taco, then put your fixings on there.... drizzle with sauce when complete
6. Enjoy!
